...relevant physics.Wilson was among the physicists of the 1970s who developed Standard Theory, the current model of particle physics that refined quantum field theory. Michael E. Peskin ’73, who was Wilson’s doctoral advisee at Cornell and is now a professor at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, recalls how Wilson synthesized all of elementary particle physics into the Standard Theory at a seminar in 1974.Wilson drew boxes on a long blackboard, and each box contained some known concept about elementary particles. Then he drew arrows between all the boxes, explaining the connections between concepts that...
...bark paintings start? Inside bark shelters, inside houses. They were painted on the roof. Rock art. This idea of working on that scale with that kind of prominence is not a new thing." While the Aboriginal concept of the Dreaming "forces one to think differently, and in a less linear way, about the relationship between creativity and form in art," as anthropologist Howard Morphy wrote, a natural entry point for the building is the bark painting tradition of Arnhem Land...
...limited to a casual inquiry: How long will it take us to drive our brand-new Jeep from Sweet Valley High School to Sweet Valley University? Other installment series feature girls who seem eternally trapped in ninth grade—there is no sense of linear time, but there are a whole lot of winter semi-formals. The success of McCafferty’s three Jessica Darling novels has proven that not all college-bound English majors are brushing up on Chaucer the summer before they leave for school. The author was among the first to acknowledge the unprecedented level...
...we’re being completely honest here, neither am I. Saddened, appalled, and troubled, yes. But never surprised. This lack of shock comes as a direct result of the way we’re socialized to think of people’s behavior in completely linear fashion—if A, then B. In this logic, if she is a stripper, and consents to have her body objectified on a regular basis, then she must on some level be open to the possibility of complete violation of her body as well. That—the idea that being...
From the air, the San Andreas stands out as a linear gash in the earth's surface that is easy to spot. On the ground, however, it is often hard to read, particularly north and south of San Francisco where it strays offshore, runs through dense redwood forests and even disappears beneath houses and streets. In many populated areas, it's impossible to tell just where the active strands of the fault lie because so many features have been filled in or bulldozed away...
